    Kindly  clarify  the  overtime  payment  calculation  for  public  holidays  and  weekly  offs.
    We had a session from Ministry of Manpower and we were informed that for working
    on  public  holidays  and  weekly  off  days  we  should  be  paid  double  salary  ie  (1+2)  or
    two  days  compensatory  leave.  But  our  accounts  department  does  not  agree  and  are
    paying us (1 + 1.25). What does the labour law say?

    The text of Article (73) is reproduced here to clear all ambiguities. "The employer shall pay
    the  employee  ...  an  additional  wage  equivalent  to  the  wage  he/she  used  to  get  (for  the
    additional  work)  plus  a  minimum  of  25  per  cent  for  additional  day  time  working  hours,  and
    50  per  cent  for  the  nocturnal  working  hours.  If  the  work  falls  in  the  weekly  off  day  or  on
    public  holidays,  the  employee  shall  be  entitled  to  a  double  wage  for  that  day  unless  he  is
    given another day off in lieu of it during the following week."

    Blackberry

    For the purpose of simplification, the following are the main points in this article: 

    a.  For  normal  overtime  hours  (during  day  time),  the  employee  shall  be  paid  an  additional
    wage equivalent to 125 per cent of his/her normal wages.

    b. There shall be an additional 150 per cent of the wages, if the employee works overtime
    during nocturnal (night) hours. 

    c.  If  the  overtime  work  falls  on  weekly  off  days  or  approved  holidays,  the  additional
    payment shall be 200 per cent of the normal wages. 

    d. However, if the employee is compensated with off days equivalent to the overtime days,
    condition in the previous paragraph will not be applicable.
